[css-fonts-5] Broaden language about @font-face metrics descriptors' normal value
The original text was overly specific. In particular, `normal` values don't always need to come directly from the font file. `normal` is intended to just do the same thing as what happens today, without any of these metrics descriptors. Both editors agree that this is just an editorial fix, and can just be committed without an issue or WG discussion.
